In asynchronous DRAM, the interval is specified in nanoseconds (absolute time). In synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), the interval is specified in clock cycles. Because the latency is dependent upon a number of clock ticks instead of absolute time, the actual time for an SDRAM module to respond to a CAS event might vary between uses of the same module if the clock rate differs. Timing Profiles JDEC Profile CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC @ frequency Serial Presence Detect (SPD) 1.20v The standard way of accessing information from a memory module. The default memory operation frequency is dependent on SPD. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value. Intel XMP profile 1.35v CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC-CR @ frequency (voltage) Frequencies higher than 2133MHz and their corresponding timing or the loaded XMP profle is NOT the JEDEC memory standard. The stability and compatibility of the memory modules depend on the CPU’s capabilities and other installed devices.
